French Interior Minister Gérard Collomb described the level of violence in Calais as "unprecedented." He attributed the fighting to an 'escalating turf war' between Afghan and Kurdish gangs seeking to gain control over human trafficking between Calais and Britain, which many migrants view as "El Dorado" because of its massive underground economy.
Hundreds of 'Africans and Asians' armed with knives and iron rods fought running street battles in the northern port city of Calais on February 1, less than two weeks after French President Emmanuel Macron visited the area and pledged to crack down on illegal immigration.
Within an hour, hundreds of 'Eritreans, Ethiopians and Sudanese' took to the streets of Calais and attacked any Afghans they could find. More than 'a thousand police officers' using batons and tear gas were deployed to restore order. Two dozen migrants were hospitalized.
The clashes plunged Calais — emblematic of Europe's failure to control mass migration — into a war zone and reinforced the perception that French authorities have lost control of the country's security situation.
The mass brawls, fought in at least three different parts of Calais, 'erupted after a 37-year-old Afghan migrant running a human trafficking operation fired gunshots at a group of Africans' who did not have money to pay for his services. Five Africans suffered life-threatening injuries.

Quite true..many aren’t interested in seeing Europe with this invasion happening......you can bet that m.e. money sources are funding a lot of these mass population movements
Creating chaos and violence ‘forces’ the host countries to divert resources for housing etc at a faster pace.....so it bleeds the host countries revenue sources.
Economic war is very real today....and equally destructive as all out military war....because you cannot fight a war without oil and revenue. Thus cuts off a nations power and ability to even defend itself.
Yes, like Obama’s defenseless America.
Thank God we have Trump now.
MAGA!
That is a mighty fine looking group of “Frenchmen”.
The plague of locusts have come to the West? What really pisses me off, aside from those idiot leaders allowing it to happen, but hey I don’t have to live there, but anyways it’s the fact that they originate from large continents of their own people/culture why do they feel this need to travel long distance to unfamiliar land and different culture.
why is this even news, muslims follow a vile prophet disgusting folks..yea even the ones that are not radical yet..thy need to be sent back to their hell holes
Right there’s a problem begging for a belt-fed solution.
.. and before anyone gets there panties in a bunch: repeat that ‘solution’ a half dozen or so times around Europe and watch the zeal for ‘immigration’ wane considerably.
I have one thing to say ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
This is by Rep. Tom Rooney, R-Florida, when asked about the plan.
....”While acknowledging a wall might not be constructive for the committee’s work, he said, “The level of trust and the level of everything down there is – it’s poison. It’s absolute poison down there.”
Rooney said one reason for the tension is an erosion of trust, exacerbated by an ongoing ethics investigation into the “entire Republican staff,” including “the woman up front that answers the phone” for alleged leaks. He later added that the matter was being handled by the Office of Congressional Ethics.
Bipartisanship, he said, “is gone. It’s gone from that committee.”
